Chapter 92
Antony knew that he should take Crystal back to the White residence at this time. Crystal’s life in the White family had nothing to do with him. But at this moment, as he looked at the little girl’s soft cheek, he just couldn’t say the “yes” in his throat.
Antony felt that he must have some mental problems. Before Crystal came back, he had thought of a lot of ways to deal with it. No matter whether she cried or screamed or wanted to hang herself, he could deal with it. But now, his mind was blank and he couldn’t remember anything.
“What’s wrong with you?” Crystal raised her head and asked curiously when she saw that Antony did not speak.
“…It’s nothing.” Antony reached out and pressed Crystal’s head down. He asked, “Are you hungry?” It was almost past the meal time. Of course, Crystal was hungry, so she nodded. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Antony walked forward and said, “I’ll take you to a meal.”
Crystal became excited as soon as she heard that. She quickly followed behind him and asked, “What shall we eat?”
Antony no longer asked what Crystal wanted to eat. She only had a few dishes she wanted to eat and he was too lazy to even listen to them.
“We’re going to have barbecue.” Antony looked around and remembered that a friend of his was running a chain barbecue shop nearby. He asked, “Have you tried before?”
Crystal shook her head.
Antony scolded her. “Little bumpkin.”
Crystal said, “… Then you’re a big bumpkin.”
“Heh.” Antony said, “You still dare to scold me?”
“You were the one who scolded me first,” Crystal muttered. “If you scold me, of course I’ll scold you
back.”
Antony suddenly remembered how Crystal had addressed him in the dessert shop. He paused and asked, “Why aren’t you… calling me brother anymore?”
Crystal was confused. “Didn’t you say that I’m not your sister? If I call you that, you’ll be angry.”
Antony was a little upset. “Then why did you still call me that before?”
Crystal was reasonable. “I was afraid that you’d run away when you saw Caleb. If you run away after I called you brother, everyone would despise you.”
Antony was speechless.
“D”mn it.”
He had thought that Crystal really regarded him as her elder brother.
Seeing that Antony’s expression was getting worse and worse, Crystal stayed away from him and whispered, “I won’t call you brother anymore. Don’t be angry.”
“I’m not…” Antony suddenly stopped.
Wasn’t he? He didn’t want Crystal to call him brother.
Antony pursed his lips and stopped talking to Crystal. He went straight into the barbecue restaurant
on the street.
Crystal curled her lips, thinking that the people from the Evans family were really bad-tempered. Daxton was like this, so was Danny and Marcus. Although she had never seen her second brother Marcus, Crystal had already labeled him as a super vicious person.
The barbecue restaurant’s business was very good. Antony knew that some time ago, his friend had spent a lot of money to promote the restaurant. Now that it has become popular, many young people came here to have their meals.
Although Antony had a bad temper, his height and appearance were undoubtedly very outstanding. When he walked into the store, he instantly attracted the attention of countless people.
He was so familiar with these gazes that he didn’t care at all. The waiter came up and asked in a gentle voice, “Hello, are you the only one?”
“Two…” As he turned around, he realized that his younger sister was missing. He walked out of the restaurant with a dark face, and he saw Crystal playing with the big orange cat who was lying on the ground basking in the sun.
“…” Antony picked Crystal up and said, “Should I tie you up with a rope the next time you come out? You can even go missing after taking a few steps.”
Crystal said, “You’re too fast. Your legs are so long that I can’t keep up with you.”
“…” Antony was speechless. “Are you playing with the cat or eating?”
